Finder, Desktop Folder opens when I copy something to my desktop. Is there a way I can turn that setting off?
Whenever I pull a picture from a website and copy it to my desktop, the finder window opens. Is there anyway possible I can turn off that setting? It's rather annoying.
It's a bug in the Chrome browser.

I've been working on a newsletter and have the final version. But I wanted to check something in a verssion I did last week. If I choose the day in Time Machine, is there any way I can view that document without "restoring" it to replace the final version?
You can drag and drop a file from TM to the desktop.
Let's say your newsletter is on the desktop. First thing to do is to add something to the file name, say Newsletter_1.
Next open TM as if it is just another external drive by double clicking the icon. (This is not the same as "Enter Time Machine" which you do when you want to restore.) The file hierachy in TM follows the same logic as on your hard drive. Navigate to the date you want, find the file you want, and drag and drop it where you want it to be. Because you changed the name of the most recent version you can both files in the same space.
I do this often.
But remember if you make a back up now you will end up with both versions in TM. -
iphoto 9.5.1 will not import videos with .mpg extension from my pictures folder and keep getting a OSStatus error-54. Is there a way I can import such videos to the iphone library? Pls help.
This is what that error means:
-54
permErr
Software lock on file; Not a subscriber [permissions error on file open]
Download and launch BatChmod. Put the videos into a subfolder and drag that folder containing the video files into the Batchmod window. Make sure you are the owner and have R,W, X access as well as the group. Everyone will have R only.
Check the Change ownership and privileges, Unlock and Apply to enclosed boxes and then click on the Apply button. When done try importing the files again.

I have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features unavailable to me? Or do I have to upgrade the version I have? If so, how much would that be?
The only "content aware" feature in CS5 is the fill, so you are not missing anything with the updates because nothing more is there. And I honestly don't know what you mean by "Adobe watermarks" there is no such thing, but there is a series of scripts for such stuff.

When I turn my iPad from one side to the other the icons don't change is there some way I can fix that in the settings
I assume that you mean that the screen doesn't rotate. Settings>General>Use Side Switch to...see how that is set. You can choose lock screen or mute sounds.
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it,swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center. There will be a lock icon in the row of icons at the top. Tap that icon to unlock the screen.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button -
The problem is it wants internet. Without Internet Quicktime says "QuickTime Player can't open "video.mov".". So, i don't what to do, Please help me with this because I don't internet connection in my laptop and I have to borrow my friend's iPad for a few minutes. Thanks!

There are some minor changes in the icons from when the video was created to now.

I lost all of my tabs when I restarted to install the update, is there any way I can retrieve them?
I restarted my browser to install your most recent update. I had 45 tabs, some of them opened months ago and never closed. When the new browser window opened all of my tabs were gone and it will not let me use "Restore Previous Session". Is there any way to retrieve those tabs? Its going to be virtually impossible for me to reconstruct even half of them and this is highly frustrating. I'm using my chrome right now because I don't want to touch my firefox just in case.
Nevermind, I found the button to restore all previously closed windows and it pulled my main window and a few others up as well.

I cracked my screen recently so I went in to the store to get a new one. Everything was going great until I hit the wrong button and now everything is lost. Is there any way I can get a previous iCloud backup on my phone?
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I am currently living in brasil at the moment, and I plan to go back to the US soon.
I would have to change carriers in this case. I am afraid I will lose every contact here and all the pictures I have taken on my Iphone.
Is there a way I can do this via transferring to a US carrier without losing all my data?Data on the phone has absolutely nothing to do with what carrier you are using. No data is stored on the SIM at all. If you have a (legitimately) unlocked phone, all you should have to do is put your new SIM in the phone and carry on.

HT1491 I Lose some of my Apps. when I had to Reset my IPhone4 Is there a way i can get them Back.
I Lost some of my Apps. On my IPone4 Ihad to Reset phone. Howdo iget them back.
If you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with and they are still in the store then you should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your phone : re-downloading. If they don't show in there (and they are still in the store) then they might be hidden : hiding and unhiding

I lost my Black iPhone 5, 2 days ago. Someone stole it. Find my iPhone app wasn't installed, it's not on. Is there any way I can turn on "Find my IPhone" on my phone from my computer or can I track it with the serial number ? Please help.
I guess no but they can't use it because most likely they restored it and the name of your find my iphone will disappear on your computer even if it is on because it does not have your name anymore.

Finder does not open when a file passes over (mac os X 10.8.3)
Just installed mac os 10.8.3 mountain lion. As such, it seems with this OS X version the "finder" does not open when a file passes over (in order to move it from desktop).
The screen dims a little and nothing else happens.
How can I recover the "finder" functionality that apparently doesn not exist anymore?
Is it something wrong that I am doing?

JoséBack up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?
There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
Hope that helps!
